로그인AXELI had to find out what Lianna was fucking up to from Rae, I didn’t even get the full picture of what was happening but I knew it was just one of Lianna’s madness, splurging money on bullshit. The crazy thing was that she would have been fine if anyone else got the building but the fact that it was Rae made her want to drive a nail through her fucking head and spend money she never worked for.I was tired of her bullshit, I didn’t understand what the obsession was.“Get me Lianna’s bank statement” I said to my secretary as we walked into the office that early that morning, that was the first thing I was going to look at.I leaned my head into the chair with my eyes shut, as I waited for him to come back with it. My mind had a re-run of my conversation with Rae. I felt like, if only Lianna wasn’t pulling different stunts trying to ruin her life which somehow made me affiliated in making her life hell. She would have spoken to me and really heard me out, I didn’t get the chance to
RAEOnce the auction was ready to kick off, I directed the guests into the hall. I got a few looks as they walked past me. All I did was respond with a polite smile even though my heart was pounding so fast and I was literally shaking in my shoes.I couldn’t let that show.Once they were all in I let out a sigh of relief “Nerves huh?” Mitchell walked up to me with a glass in his hand“That’s how many glasses now?” I asked“You are the only one counting” he laughed“Don’t get drunk, you are going on stage at the end of the night” I reminded him“Don’t worry I can handle my drinks” he took a long sip“Yeah right” I rolled my eyes“If you ask me, I think you need a drink” he stretched out the glass to me “Shake the nerves off”“Good thing, I didn’t ask” I teased“How are you feeling though?” He turned serious“I am good” I let out a little laugh“Why are you looking at me that way, do I look like I’m not?” I asked when he wouldn’t stop staring“You looked for me, I am trying to do the s
LIANNAI woke up to news that Axel was at an auction they held at Rickon’s gallery.I couldn’t help but ask why he was there.He hadn’t set foot back into the house in a long ass time and he was showing up in the same space Rae was obviously going to be present in.What was that motherfucker up to?!“We are not going to let him get us worked up” I repeated to myself taking in several breaths. He didn’t deserve my time or energy. I wasn't going to let him ruin my day.I decided I needed a reset therapy which was a long day of shopping.I made a reservation because I didn’t want anyone around me while I was shopping. I strolled in there and they all swarmed around me. One took my coat, another took my bag, and placed a glass of champagne in my hand.They held out items for me and I pointed at the pieces I wanted. I tried on shoes, bags, jewelry, and whatever was in the store. I was ready to make Axel feel my absence, if he wasn’t going to speak to me he would at least whine about me spe
AXELIt kept me up at night and left me in a constant state of thought, zoning out of meetings and thinking about possibilities, as my mom had pointed out. It was just this huge seed of doubt planted in my fucking heart by my mom that I couldn’t shake off.We never shared any romantic moments, let alone the point where it got to having sex. We did share a room which was only because of my mom and her superstition claiming it was bad luck for married couples to sleep in separate rooms but I only had my shit in there but never slept in there. Only on nights when I come home drunk and find myself in there the next morning.Nothing other than that.I never looked at her twice she was just this plain boring woman that barely spoke and I was trapped beside. That was exactly how I saw her. So there was no way in hell, but somehow I found myself still trying to think of a possibility of it happening.“Sir some contractors are here to see you” my secretary walked in“I am done for the day canc
I was really nervous about the auction, I wish I could hide behind and stay in the shadows watching the show carry on because I knew the reporters would be peeking around to find me, and if they didn’t see me they might cook another bunch of stories as my excuse for not showing up.So I decided to stand on the sidelines, sticking beside the artist at all times. I planned not to say a single word to the press and just basically be that mute official in the background. Making sure everything was going at a smooth pace.I made sure I went there looking simple, I don’t know if it was too much to ask but I didn’t want a single attention on me. I wore a simple black strapless dress that hugged the top of my body and the rest of it flowed down gracefully. Then paired it with a pair of black pumps, the same pair Rickon gave me. I loved how they fit, or maybe because they were from him they felt extra comfortable.My hair was in an updo away from my face and a light makeup that brought the lo
I stopped by the donut shop close to the gallery and got some for Rickon. I needed to speak to him and apologize for the morning, and I left like I needed to go with a peace offering. “Who is that for?” Jack tried to take it from me “Keep your hands to yourself Mr” I slapped his hand off “If he eats that, then I just know my intuition is correct” he smiled to himself “What do you mean by that?” I asked “Why wouldn’t he eat it?” “Because he doesn’t take food from anyone. He is highly selective when it comes to food. He only has his private chef cook for him. Even when he is travelling, he has to have his chef recommend another chef who can cater to his taste buds. He’s one selective and extremely annoying individual when it comes to food. But here he is eating a strawberry donut from a roadside shop. That’s fishy” he explained and I couldn’t help but laugh because I didn’t understand. “He probably just liked it because he had the last one I gave him. That is the only reason
“I didn’t do anything I promise” I quickly said, raising my hand in surrender. He just stared at me intensely with a blank expression on his face. I couldn't tell if he was angry or not but who wouldn’t be when I somehow destroyed the work that had been done? I couldn’t even begin to explain how i
AXEL I was seated in my office buried in work I needed to get rid of. I worked like I wasn’t the CEO of the damn company. My father made me work like a staff under his payroll, it got even worse when I got married to Lianna, as if it was his way of punishing me. He didn’t do anything to stop t
I couldn’t sleep a wink all night, I kept thinking and thinking but I didn’t know how to go about it. It was a great opportunity for me especially since I had no real qualifications at all. It would be somewhat silly to let something like that pass when I have been given a chance. However, the tho
AXELThere was a sharp knock on my office door, a few minutes after I had just settled in, it wasn't my secretary I could tell it was someone elseI let out a heavy sigh“Come in”The door opened and my father’s driver stepped in like he owned the place.“I’m here to get you” he saidI took a singl
